Graz, 29 June 2006.  International Technology Group Andritz received
an order from Aracruz Celulose S.A., Brazil for its expansion project
2330, targeting to substantially increase the capacity of Fiberline C
from the original design capacity of 700,000 to 950,000 t/a.  The
order value for Andritz is approximately USD 80 million.
The capacity of Aracruz’ Fiberline C, which was delivered by Andritz
in 2002, has been continuously increased during the last years,
substantially above the original design capacity.  Now Aracruz
decided to carry out a major expansion of the mill and again placed
the order with Andritz.  The aim of the investment is to achieve
higher production rates and to further enhance and optimize pulp
quality.
The order focuses on upgrading and modernizing the washing, screening
and bleaching equipment of Fiberline C, which includes the delivery
of three new DD washers, new reactors, and equipment for
medium-consistency pulp.  The pulp drying line will also be upgraded
to achieve the new capacity rates.
A new chipping line, consisting of an Andritz HHQ-ChipperTM and a new
Andritz bleaching stage for bleach plant B at the Aracruz mill, was
also ordered.  The Andritz bleaching equipment fulfills the highest
environmental standards, thus reducing chemicals consumption to a
minimum.  This protects the environment and leads to essential cost
savings for the customers.
Delivery is scheduled to take place in the second half of 2007.
